Glowing Downpipes

Try this at home children, it’s kind of cool

Last night I went out for a bit of a thrash on the bike as it was the last for the dry roads for a while. Came back, rode bike into garage, switch off light and a final glance back into the pitch black garage before closing the door.

Something caught my eye. It was the rear downpipe and it was glowing quite brightly! This is the first time I have ever seen that on one of my bikes and it looked quite ethereal. Everything else was pure black, just the downpipe floating in a sea of darkness looking solid and somehow not solid at the same time.

Anyway it’s a game we could all play so next time you park up in a properly dark place let you eyes adjust and then take a look yourself.

I might try and get a picture next time but my guess is that it’s better seen for real.

Have fun
mine does the same thing. I think its running rich... Just my guess.
Mine too. I was gearing up after work one night while the bike was warming up, and a co-worker came up & started to chat ms up about the bike. Anyway, a few minutes had passed & we said our goodbyes.

As I was about to mount up,'BOTH pipes had a pretty solid orange glow going. Pretty bad-ass lookin.
Look I hate to be a miserable C.unt but I've just had 2005 on the phone and they want their thread back.
They all do that. Case closed!
Wow, you old timers are kinda harsh!

I actually had this very same thing happen to me just two Monday nights back. It WAS cool...even if it did happen way back in 2005 and on every other bike!

2005 - them were the days.

Dan was still a full time male stripper, Stupid Luke would get his wallet out (only twice a year mind.), we thought KTM would be at the cutting edge in 6 years time.

It;s not all changed though, pipes still glow in the dark, I'm still a miserable C
maybe you should buy a crack pipe and cheer yourself up.........not sure of they do glow in the dark ones
